2	Safety precautions

Safety precautions

Information for parents

Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use. Explain the content to your children and the hazards associated with using the phone.

Remember to comply with legal requirements and local restrictions when using the phone. For example, in aeroplanes, petrol stations, hospitals or while driving.

Mobile phones can interfere with the functioning of medical devices such as hearing aids or pacemakers. Keep at least 20 cm/9 inches between phone and pacemaker. When using the mobile phone hold it to the ear which is further away from the pacemaker. For more information consult your doctor.

Small parts such as the SIM card, sealing stop, lens ring and lens cap can be dismantled and swallowed by small children. The phone must therefore be stored out of the reach of small children.

Do not place the phone near to electromagnetic data carriers such as credit cards and floppy disks. Information stored on them could be lost.

Do not look at the LED (e.g. activated infrared port, flash LED) with optical magnifiers because of radiation. This product complies with IEC/EN 60825-1 “Safety of Laser Products” for LED Class 1M products; such products are safe under reasonably foreseeable operating conditions.

The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit (V) must not be exceeded. Otherwise the charging device may be destroyed.

The power supply must be plugged into an easily accessible AC mains power socket when charging the battery. The only way to turn off the charging device after charging the battery is to unplug it.

Ringtones (page 44), info tones (page 46) and handsfree talking are reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone to the ear when it rings or when you have switched on the handsfree function (page 18). Otherwise you risk serious permanent damage to your hearing.

Safety precautions

3

Only use original Siemens batteries (100% mercury-free) and charging devices. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and property. The battery could explode, for instance.

You may only open the phone to replace the battery (100% mercury-free) or SIM card. You must not open the battery under any circumstances. All other changes to this device are strictly prohibited and will invalidate the guarantee.

Please dispose of unwanted batteries and phones as permitted by the laws in your country.

The phone may cause interference in the vicinity of TV sets, radios and PCs.

Use only Siemens original accessories. This will avoid potential risks to health or property and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.

Improper use will invalidate the guarantee! These safety instructions also apply to Siemens original accessories.

This mobile phone offers various functions and can therefore be used in various positions other than being held to the ear, e.g. elsewhere on the body. In this case, a minimum distance of 1.5 cm must be kept between your body and phone to enable data transfer (GPRS).

Getting started

Inserting the SIM card/ battery

The service provider supplies you with a SIM card on which all the important data for your line is stored. If the SIM card has been delivered in credit-card size, snap the smaller segment out and remove any rough edges.

Additional information

Please switch off your phone before removing the battery!

1.8- and 3-V SIM cards are supported. Please contact your service provider if you have an older SIM card.

•Place the SIM card in front of the slot with the contact surface fac-

ing downwards. Then push the SIM card in using gentle pressure 1 (ensure that the chamfered corner is in the correct position).

•Insert the battery sideways into the phone 2, then press downward 3, until it engages (to remove, press the retaining tab on the side of the battery, then lift the battery out).

Charging the battery

The battery is not fully charged when delivered. Plug the charger cable into the bot-

tom of the phone, plug the power supply unit into a mains power socket and charge for at least three hours.

As an alternative, the battery can be charged via the USB port (see Accessories: USB data cable).

Y Display during charging.

Charging time

An empty battery is fully charged after approx. 3 hours. Charging is only possible within a temperature range of +5 °C to +45 °C. If the temperature rises/falls 5 °C above/below this, the charge symbol flashes a warning.

The mains voltage specified on the power supply unit must not be exceeded.

Operating time

The operating time depends upon the respective conditions of use. Extreme temperatures reduce the phone’s standby time. Do not leave the phone in direct sunlight or on a radiator.

Talktime: 3 to 8 hours Standby time: 270 to 450 hours

Getting started

9

Charge icon not visible

If the battery has been discharged fully, the charge icon is not immediately visible when the power supply is plugged in. It will appear after up to two hours. In this case the battery is fully charged after 3 to 4 hours.

Only use the plug-in power supply included in delivery!

Display while in service

Charge level display during operation (empty–full):

VWX

A beep sounds when the battery is nearly empty. The charge level of the battery is only displayed correctly after an uninterrupted charging/discharging cycle. You should therefore not remove the battery unnecessarily and where possible not finish the charging process prematurely.

Additional information

The power supply unit heats up when used for long periods. This is normal and not dangerous.

If the battery is removed for longer than 30 seconds, the clock must be reset.

Security 15

C¢T¢Security¢PIN codes

¢Select function.

Change PIN2

(Display only if PIN2 is available)

Proceed as with Change PIN.

Chg.phonecode

(Change phone code)

You define the phone code (4–8 digits) when you call up a phone-code protected function for the first time (e.g. Direct call, page 49). It is then valid for all phone-code protected functions.

Following the third unsuccessful attempt, access to the phone code and the functions that use it is denied. If this occurs, contact the Siemens Service (page 59).

Clearing SIM card barring

If the PIN is entered incorrectly three times, the SIM card is barred. Enter the PUK (MASTER PIN) provided by your service provider with the SIM card in accordance with the instructions. If the PUK (MASTER PIN) has been lost, please contact your service provider.

Preventing accidental activation

Even if PIN use is deactivated (page 14) confirmation is required to switch on the phone.

This prevents accidental activation of the phone, e.g. when you are carrying it in a bag or when you are travelling in an aircraft.

B Press and hold.

§OK§ Press this key. The phone switches on.

§Cancel§ Press this key or take no action. The phone does not switch on.

Connecting to PCs

You can connect the phone to a PC via infrared or a data cable (accessories). With the MPM program (Mobile Phone Manager) you can save data from the phone onto your PC. Copying your addressbook entries from Outlook®, Lotus Notes™ and other Siemens phones (including Gigasets) is also supported.
